This Week's #NeverForgottenFriday Honorees
Thankfully, there are no new casualties to report from the Global War on Terror (GWOT).
So, on this #NeverForgottenFriday, we recognize National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day - a celebration of the end of the Korean War on July 27, 1953. During the Korean War, from June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953, more than 325,000 U.S. troops deployed to Korea, more than 100,000 were wounded, and 36,574 died. Since no peace treaty, only an armistice (cease fire), was signed - some consider North and South Korea to still be at war.
Take time today to appreciate the sacrifices made to stop the spread of communism and pray for the families that lost loved ones during this conflict.
